A source close to the negotiations told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that verbal agreements are in place and that bout agreements are expected to be signed shortly.

While the event has not yet been officially announced by the promotion, WEC 52 is expected to take place Nov. 11 at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

The night’s main card airs on Versus, though the position of Page vs. Wineland on the fight card won’t be known until closer to the event.

Page picked up his fourth win in five fights with a swift, 62-second submission victory over Will Campuzano at WEC 43. The KOTC vet and Greg Jackson-trained fighter also owns WEC victories over Scott Jorgensen and Marcos Galvao, and the lone loss came in 2008 to Brian Bowles, who’d win the organization’s bantamweight belt in his next fight. Sidelined by injuries, he now fights for the first time in more than a year.

Wineland, meanwhile, looks for his fourth straight WEC victory following decision wins over Manny Tapia and George Roop and a TKO victory over Campuzano at WEC 49. The WEC’s first-ever 135-pound champ looks to reclaim his belt, which he lost to Chase Beebe in 2006. Wineland, who’s resurrected his career in the past couple years, is 5-1 since that title loss.
